This book describes how to use the monitoring function of the Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) Resource Monitoring and Control application for AIX(R). It also provides reference material about the RSCT application, including a summary of components, messages, and predefined monitoring functions.
System administrators, operators, and information system professionals who would like to know about the features and functionality provided by IBM(R) Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology as demonstrated in the Resource Monitoring and Control application should read this book.
This book contains information on how to use the Monitoring application, which is available through the Web-based System Manager user interface. This information is provided in the first two chapters. Thereafter, the book contains reference information that describes the underlying system, diagnostic information, commands and scripts, and tables of predefined conditions, expressions, and responses that are packaged with the application.
The following highlighting conventions are used in this book:
| Bold | Identifies commands, subroutines, keywords, files, structures, directories, and other items whose names are predefined by the system. Also identifies graphical objects such as buttons, labels, and icons that the user selects. |
| Italic | Identifies parameters whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the user. |
| monospace | Identifies examples of specific data values, examples of text similar to what you might see displayed, examples of portions of program code similar to what you might write as a programmer, messages from the system, or information you should actually type. |
ISO 9000 registered quality systems were used in the development and manufacturing of this product.
Beginning with Version 4.3, the operating system is designed to support The Open Group's UNIX98 Specification for portability of UNIX-based operating systems. Many new interfaces, and some current ones, have been added or enhanced to meet this specification, making Version 4.3 even more open and portable for applications.
At the same time, compatibility with previous releases of the operating system is preserved. This is accomplished by the creation of a new environment variable, which can be used to set the system environment on a per-system, per-user, or per-process basis.
To determine the proper way to develop a UNIX98-portable application, you may need to refer to The Open Group's UNIX98 Specification, which can be obtained on a CD-ROM by ordering Go Solo 2: The Authorized Guide to Version 2 of the Single UNIX(R) Specification, ISBN: 0-13-575689-8, a book which includes The Open Group's UNIX98 Specification on a CD-ROM.
